Your Wi-Fi router needs to be set up with WPA/WPA2 wireless security and with any client/access point/wireless isolation/security feature turned off. HomePod won't work if there is a challenge response web page required to connect to the network.

What is the make and model of your router? Perhaps I can find a manual to work out which setting you need to change.
